HYPERMILING UPDATE

Down to 20.4, mainly because Her Awesomeness had to deal with the Route 9 stop-n-go grind for a couple days. Note to the DOT: the timing of the lights on Route 9 through Poughkeepsie and Wappingers is dreadful. Snap out of it already. (/tilting at windmills)

Also, there was considerable idling at The Nana's place as we waited for her to get ready for a trip.

HYPERMILING UPDATE

20.8.

This is what happens when I swap cars with the wife and she gets the usual Route 9 treatment, plus those doctors' appointments in Poughkeepsie meant another session with the lights. Thanks again, DOT. Heckuva job timing...

...lights. Hold on, there's an old lady bought a ball of yarn at AC Moore and is on her way home. Let's stop 50 cars at this light so she can turn left out of the store parking lot.
